| Obverse description | Crude depiction of a forepart of a bull facing left, rendered in a highly schematic and archaic style consistent with early Sicilian fractional coinage. The design is deeply struck into the small flan, with the animal's head and shoulders occupying most of the available field. The surfaces show characteristic irregularity of hammered silver coinage of this period. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Reverse description | Plain, nearly flat reverse with a small incuse punch mark visible off-center, typical of early archaic hammered fractional silver coinage. The flan is irregular and shows natural cracking consistent with the small size and ancient manufacture. No design, legend, or inscription is present. The surface retains original metal texture with natural toning. |
